Enough Musk Spam
For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.
No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.
Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.
Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.
Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

The other part of this is control. The more unreasonable control by Big Gov that people have already accepted, the more additional control they will be willing to submit to.
It’s a litmus test, a part of a wedge designed to normalize authoritarianism and societal control so that “deviants” can be more easily identified for violent elimination/unaliving, and the population as a whole can be made to go in only those directions that those in power deem “acceptable”. The ultimate objective is to create a population where most if not all uncritically accept deeply invasive directives from above without question or objection.
Republicans have quite literally started using Orwell’s “1984” as an instruction manual instead of the cautionary tale it actually is.
And for the party of “muh rights”, it sure is wildly hypocritical for Republicans to want to control every consenting and private aspect of people’s sexual lives.
